It's always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting ~ Jean Paul Gaultier

Yes, I am vain.

And yes, I let go of being stylish the minute I woke up in the hospital. Learning to un-vain

But I’m still a girl!

Being in a halo means to let go of your normal clothes. But it doesn’t mean you don’t want to look your best. My mother bought me some clothes to wear in the halo, mainly plus size tunics and pullovers which we cut to pull over my head. A jeans or legging and flat shoes or boots and off you go!

If you’re in a halo:

Buy tunics and dresses in big sizes

Consider pregnancy clothes

Invest in scarfs. By now I have a large collection of scarfs in various colors because that’s a good way to keep my neck warm and add color to the halo outfit.

Let go of large earrings. They can get stuck in the halo bars. I’ve been there.

Bannish the thought of high heels. They’re dangerous. I tried them on once while sitting on the bed. They still fitted. Case closed.

Accept the fact that you look big, formless, plump and chunky. Make it your trade mark.Remember that all this is only temporary. Lucky you.
